ktc,

re: "Yet, know-nothings will drag a Paul Krugman (The Times most prominent liberal) piece from the editoral section, then rant that the Times is a Commie, Pinko, Socialist, Islamofascist Liberal Fishwrap."

I'm guilty as charged. I don't read the Times hard copy. It's not a cheap newspaper.

But I rarely read the online edition either, even though much of it is free.

My exposure to the NY Times comes in the form of a hundred other sources who reference articles and provide the link. OVERWHELMINGLY, these sources are painting the NY Times as an extraordinarily biased, liberal newsrag.

If what you say is true, then I find it EXTRAORDINARY that the paper is not making a major effort to change its image. It is, after all, losing readership in dramatic fashion and is, debatably, on the verge of going out of business. But I've seen ZERO indication that it is doing so.

Do you have any thoughts as to why that might be?

Morning DE:

Righties, who have never glimpsed a hard copy of the NY Times, universally chant (on cue) that the Times is a libreal rag. In reality, the Times is a rather staid newspaper appealing to an upper-class readership. It is sacrilege for a 'winger' to read the NY Times.

A quick glance at today's edition shows a nineteen page news section (which may contain an opinion piece or two), a two-page editorial section, a nine-page business section, four pages of sports, nineteen pages of performing arts, and seven pages of fine arts. Yet, know-nothings will drag a Paul Krugman (The Times most prominent liberal) piece from the editoral section, then rant that the Times is a Commie, Pinko, Socialist, Islamofascist Liberal Fishwrap.
